It is.
Spaz is yet another member who is a victim of the "Top 20 Likes" list. Members get popular and then they start slipping on following the rules. We warn them repeatedly before the ban but the popularity often trumps our warnings.. Reference BigNeil, Poon King, Tenacity, and others in the past who all were legands of SS until they got formally popular. But they let it go to their heads. They all had warning after warning, then temp bans, then permanent. We hate it when any member does this but it's getting to be so predictable anymore it's almost like playing the stock market. I can often see who it's going to be next problem member before they actually are, and it's all from the Top 20 Likes list and then a change in posting behaviours that are more passively adverserial before they turn into actively breaking the forum rules. At this time Spaz hasn't done enough for a permanent ban yet so hopefully after this temp ban is up he will come back and that will be the end of it. Besides Spaz, I just had a PM conversation with someone else on the top 20 list last week. Same thing. Getting popular and slipping on the rules. This person seems to have actually listened to me, so far anyway, and for that I am glad. You guys may think the mod team bans people for fun, but we don't. We put a lot of time and effort into avoiding it, and have a lot of discussion in the mod sub forum before pulling the trigger unless it's an obvious Spammer, obvious Troll, or someone making bad threats on another member.
